As hockey fans fill the streets, street people gather to watch Stanley Cup

VANCOUVER - It's a life most can't imagine, picking up bottles for a living and sleeping in a back alley.

But when the Stanley Cup playoffs are on, Vinnie Danes is just like most Canadians who want to kick back and watch the game.

Not far from the pricey rink-side seats in Rogers Arena and the booming outdoor sites where jersey-clad masses cheer the Vancouver Canucks, Danes has set up his own viewing area where he and his friends can watch the game.
